Description
On White Day, the reverse happens: men who received a ‘honmei-choco (本命チョコ?, chocolate of love)’ or ‘giri-choco (義理チョコ?, courtesy chocolate)’ on Valentine's Day are expected to return the favor by giving gifts. Traditionally, popular White Day gifts are cookies, jewellery, white chocolate, white lingerie, and marshmallows. Sometimes the term literally, ‘sanbai gaeshi (三倍返し?, triple the return)’ is used to describe the generally recited rule that the return gift should be two to three times the cost of the Valentine's gift."

This is my entry for the White Day - Contest in "All-Art-4-Ever" www.deviantart.com/journal/FEB…

It took me soo much time... (~20h)

First it took me ~4,5h for the sketch and lineart, then I tried to colour the tree and grass in photoshop with special brushes but then it didn't suit with my style of colouring, so I had to redo the colouring (which took me ~1h) and experiment with the Paint Tool SAI-options/effects for another 1h... ._.
... And I was experimenting the rest of the time with colours and effects again...

but all the afford was worth it, hope you like this drawing too!
